ATP Umag: Andreas Seppi in the semifinals against Tommy Robredo

The 29-year-old from Kaltern, number 2 on the seeding list, benefited from the abandonment of his opponent Horacio Zeballos, as he did the day before against the Austrian Andreas Haider Maurer, with a score of 6:5, 40:0 in the first set. Seppi missed a break point in the second game and two more when the score was 4:3 before he had to give up his serve for nothing in the ninth game. The South American then missed two set points at 5:4. With the score at 6:5 for Seppi, Zeballos called for a “medical time out” and then decided to give up at 0:40.
